driving around

I never thought I would say this, but the post-attachment effects are beginning to hit me significantly. I find a day meaningless when there is no work to be done or accomplished. Somehow, someway, I would have to keep myself busy or occupied, if not the restlessness would just kick in.

In any case, I've been doing some driving and riding around since I've passed my driving test lately. Thank God for that, and congrats to Daniel Seow too! We both had the same test dates, and kept each other in prayers almost the whole time. Got a new bike too, the Piaggio mp3. Haha, its a three-wheeler and my parents were convinced of its added safety and stability features, so I had nothing to say. Had a couple of small accidents from both. Wacking the car into a pillar while parking and having the whole back badly smashed (ok, maybe thats not a small accident afterall), and skidding and falling off the bike on the wet slippery floor, both in the carparks. Sigh, its just this thing with car parks... Also, if you're riding a bike, you might wana be aware of and be cautious of the white/yellow painted markings on the roads (yellow box, arrows, dotted lines, etc). When it rains, these markings become extremely slippery and will cause us to lose control when at a high speed and/or banking angle. Got the infro from a forum and found it to be true myself after a few rides in wet weather.

The main roads can sometimes be a real pain in the ass. Especially with inconsiderate people who speed and get themselves into accidents which jam up the whole morning traffic causing everyone to be late for work. Or impatient taxi drivers who never fail to post a threat to motorcyclists. But generally I've encountered nice drivers too, who wave in return when you give way or just being courteous in their styles of road using, which surely makes a whole lot of difference to a pleasurable driving experience.
